How to handle rejection without falling apart

from From my Counselling years to your listening ears. Hello and welcome. · host Heidi Lester

Rejection hurts. Whether it’s not getting the job, being ghosted, falling out with a friend, or feeling invisible at home, being told "no" can feel personal and painful. In this episode, we unpack the sting of rejection, why it hits so hard, and how you can face it without letting it define you. Learn tools to help build emotional resilience, challenge the stories rejection tells you about yourself, and move forward with more self-trust and clarity. As a counsellor and psychotherapist, rejection makes a regular visit in my therapy room, so let me normalise this emotion with you, and listen as I share with you how effective counselling can be to help you accept and manage your own experiences of rejection. Remember, when someone doesn’t choose you, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t choose yourself. Contact me at [email protected] or follow me and connect on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
